But during our stay, both my wife and my friend’s wife twisted their ankles at the very last step of the stairs. It did affect our whole trip! My wife didn’t suffer great pain, but our friend’s wife did! The very first day we got in, the steps climbing up to the 3rd floor (basically an attic) was almost completely dark as there was no motion sensor lights. Each floor has about 24 steps, so three floors meant we had to take our luggages to over 70 steps! We later found that there is light switch at the ground floor in the wall! You need to turn it on in order to light the stairs! The apartment has enough rooms and enough spaces for 8 people. But for people like us who are over 60 years old, I do not recommend staying in this apartment. Also, the only windows in the apartment are all sky lights! Meaning you won’t be able to see the streets. You also are required to close the windows before you leave the apartment to avoid rain damaging the apartment! Because of that air is kind of stale. They do have a portable A/C unit. But the weather was cool and chilly during our stay in mid-May. Don’t know whether that A/C unit will be able to cool down the whole apartment in hot weather like in June, July or August! ##### Key M.
